Whattup,
The leather on my relatively new C&J Weymouth's looks like crap. They're about 8 months old or so, been worn maybe 30-40 times.
Though advertised as dark brown (and they arrive that way), wearing them completely washes out the color in most parts of the shoe.
See the 3rd picture: http://www.styleforum.net/showthread...53#post3334253
I expect comments like "moisturize them," but I assure you that is not the issue, the crust leather just looks ******.
Anyway, I'm not willing to wear them anywhere the way they look now (don't like brown for bars/night-time, and look too ****** in daytime), so I wonder if they can be dyed black, who would be good for doing that, and how much it costs? Suggestions?
I'm thinking black because that must be the hardest to screw up. Would they still have a "pale" quality due to the crust leather, even after being dyed?
